Default RIP Bioware Points

January 2nd, 2018, 17:07
After all these years and never seeing them discounted, someone at EA finally shown some mercy and decided to let fans buy cutaway DLC from ME2&3 without using scam taxfree nonexisting "currency" called Bioware points. In other words, you can buy ME2&3 DLC with legit cash now directly.
https://www.pcgamesn.com/mass-effect…bioware-points

Or perhaps the government decided to fine every company that converts currencies in between while not being registered for money exchange business.


Note that prices are like OMG are those stuff made of gold and diamonds, but at least we can expect some discounts in the future.

Wow - Mass Effect 2 DLCs is for £22 when you can buy the whole trilogy for £5! Why are they charging this amount for them now - is EA or Bioware still developing and supporting Mass Effect 2 and 3 DLCs?

This is in general a well known tactic with dlcs. They figure anyone interested in the DLC has played and enjoyed the main game, and hence is willing to pay more money than someone not familiar with the main game might be willing to pay for it.

If not buying a sports game for on of my teen boys, I don't think I will ever buy another EA game again. I has already been years for me.

You won't get the DLCs as part of any packs or such though, sadly. Some of that content is close to mandatory, and really should be part of a "Complete Trilogy" thing. It's a disgrace that it isn't, as it can trick people into thinking they can buy the whole thing for a fairly cheap price, only to realize they need to cough up considerably more for the ME2 and 3 DLCs.

You should just take the word, "points" off this subject and it would be far more accurate.

Not only DLC. With ink printers also.
